The one with the eggs.&lt;br style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box;&quot; /&gt;&lt;br style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box;&quot; /&gt;With this kink, one party has strange, inhuman biology that doesn&apos;t fit the norm. When getting down and dirty, rather than ejaculating semen like we Earthlings do, a person deposit eggs into their partner instead! In time, these eggs incubate and grow until it&apos;s time for them to be laid, and then the process can start anew.

Still, it&apos;s yours, and that makes everything more than all right. You&apos;re on your way to domestic bliss - or will you both realize that living together can mean a few more disagreements and a few less rose-colored glasses than there were together? Cooking and cleaning and other chores for two are no easy job.

Now, forget that story.&lt;br style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box;&quot; /&gt;&lt;br style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box;&quot; /&gt;Your character has been asked or forced to appear on a televised game show for the pleasure of an interdimensional audience. They must find love, or at least fail at it entertainingly enough for the audience to not vote them off the show! Perhaps elimination will mean death, or maybe it&apos;ll just send them to the&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://images.plurk.com/44HO8hHlt6bzVeqmG2as8e.png&quot; style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); color: rgb(193, 39, 45); line-height: inherit;&quot;&gt;Loser Corner&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;where there are no cool drinks but also no more pressure to fuck.&lt;br style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box;&quot; /&gt;&lt;br style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box;&quot; /&gt;Whatever flavor of game show you prefer, this meme is for a Love Island style drama&amp;mdash; or perhaps even getting around the jealous love triangle vibes and sabotaging by romancing the whole cast. The world is your oyster.&lt;br style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box;&quot; /&gt;&lt;br style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box;&quot; /&gt;&lt;a name=&quot;cutid1&quot; style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); color: rgb(193, 39, 45); line-height: inherit; text-decoration-line: underline;&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;big style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box;&quot;&gt;&lt;big style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box;&quot;&gt;&lt;b style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: bold; line-height: inherit;&quot;&gt;INSTRUCTIONS:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/big&gt;&lt;/big&gt;&lt;br style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box;&quot; /&gt;&lt;br style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box;&quot; /&gt;Put a top level up. Describe what vibes you&apos;re looking for, as well as any key permissions. Don&apos;t be afraid to ask questions or brainstorm what kind of game show you want to play with. Hit each other up, and get your love game on.&lt;br style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box;&quot; /&gt;&lt;br style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box;&quot; /&gt;&lt;br style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box;&quot; /&gt;&lt;big style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box;&quot;&gt;&lt;b style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: bold; line-height: inherit;&quot;&gt;GAME SHOW VIBES&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/big&gt;&lt;br style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box;&quot; /&gt;&lt;br style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box;&quot; /&gt;&lt;b style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: bold; line-height: inherit;&quot;&gt;A. Low Stakes:&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;You *probably* agreed to be here, or otherwise aren&apos;t being threatened with death or the like. You&apos;re just here to find love! Maybe there&apos;s nobody for you back home or perhaps you just reached the end of your story, but you&apos;re absolutely game for the opportunity to catch feels on the other side. Maybe it&apos;s the type of show where you don&apos;t get sent home early, but all have to make it to the end together! Or maybe there&apos;s some &amp;quot;Second chance&amp;quot; situation on the Loser Corner. Whatever it is, it&apos;s a Love Vibe, low on the horror.&lt;br style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box;&quot; /&gt;&lt;br style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box;&quot; /&gt;&lt;b style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: bold; line-height: inherit;&quot;&gt;B. Fuck or Die:&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;It&apos;s one of Those Games. You&apos;ve got to make niceys with your cast&amp;mdash; one or all of them&amp;mdash; if you don&apos;t want to get eliminated, whether that&apos;s the literal or metaphorical sense. Elimination may lead to a Loser Corner set where there are fewer provisions for the cast, where people have to fight to survive, or maybe they&apos;re actually straight up dead and hanging out as ghosts. This is your fuck-horror option. Or maybe just a romance-horror option? up to you!&lt;br style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box;&quot; /&gt;&lt;br style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box;&quot; /&gt;&lt;b style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: bold; line-height: inherit;&quot;&gt;C. Fuck AND Die:&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;JUST KIDDING. You&apos;re not allowed to make love on this show, even if you fall in it! You want that prize money? Then you&apos;ve got to resist saucy scenarios, one-bed setups, and all sorts of aphrodisiacs with a cast that really butters your biscuit. If you can resist the urge to get jiggy with it, maybe you&apos;ll survive! Or win money! But aren&apos;t some risks worth taking...?&lt;br style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box;&quot; /&gt;&lt;br style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box;&quot; /&gt;&lt;b style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: bold; line-height: inherit;&quot;&gt;D. Catch &apos;Em All:&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;You&apos;re on a show where you&apos;re not just supposed to love one&amp;mdash; you&apos;ve gotta connect with all! Maybe you won&apos;t actually fuck the whole cast, but the crew is counting on you to make TV-worthy connections with&amp;nbsp;&lt;i style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; line-height: inherit;&quot;&gt;everyone,&lt;/i&gt;&amp;nbsp;and they&apos;re willing to pull whatever bullshit challenges it takes to get that chemistry going.&lt;br style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box;&quot; /&gt;&lt;br style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box;&quot; /&gt;&lt;b style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: bold; line-height: inherit;&quot;&gt;E. Variety:&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;Like multiple prompts above? Have a totally different idea? Go for it! Reference your favorite trashy dating shows!&lt;br style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box;&quot; /&gt;&lt;br style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box;&quot; /&gt;&lt;br style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box;&quot; /&gt;&lt;big style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box;&quot;&gt;&lt;b style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: bold; line-height: inherit;&quot;&gt;SETTINGS:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/big&gt;&lt;br style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box;&quot; /&gt;&lt;br style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box;&quot; /&gt;&lt;b style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: bold; line-height: inherit;&quot;&gt;I. Island!&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;There&apos;s a Cool Fun Island and a Not So Cool Island for losers! Sure, this usually means tropical, but there&apos;s other kinds of islands out there too. Either way, you&apos;re thinking outdoorsy vibes and outdoorsy seclusion, with lots of places to explore.&lt;br style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box;&quot; /&gt;&lt;br style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box;&quot; /&gt;&lt;b style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: bold; line-height: inherit;&quot;&gt;2. Hotel!&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;Or Mall, or Other Building! Basically, you&apos;re stuck indoors together, in a modern and urban chic setting.&lt;br style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box;&quot; /&gt;&lt;br style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box;&quot; /&gt;&lt;b style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: bold; line-height: inherit;&quot;&gt;3. Futuristic!&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;Better hope there&apos;s not an impostor, because you&apos;re all the way out in space. Maybe it&apos;s a cruiser or perhaps it&apos;s an entire space station. This show just went intergalactic!&lt;br style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box;&quot; /&gt;&lt;br style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box;&quot; /&gt;&lt;b style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: bold; line-height: inherit;&quot;&gt;4. Town!&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;You&apos;re trapped in some cute little village somewhere made just for this. Maybe there&apos;s even farmland! What challenges will there be?&lt;br style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box;&quot; /&gt;&lt;br style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box;&quot; /&gt;&lt;b style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: bold; line-height: inherit;&quot;&gt;5. Other!&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;There&apos;s probably a million settings you could come up with, so don&apos;t limit yourself to these.&lt;br style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box;&quot; /&gt;&lt;br style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box;&quot; /&gt;&lt;br style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box;&quot; /&gt;&lt;big style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box;&quot;&gt;&lt;b style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: bold; line-height: inherit;&quot;&gt;PROMPTS &amp;amp; IDEAS&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/big&gt;&lt;br style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box;&quot; /&gt;&lt;b style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: bold; line-height: inherit;&quot;&gt;1. The Intro:&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;You arrived at orientation together, and by circumstance or intent, you&apos;ve reconvened after the days festivities. You barely know each other; maybe you can catch up in a secluded area around the set.&lt;br style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box;&quot; /&gt;&lt;br style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box;&quot; /&gt;&lt;b style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: bold; line-height: inherit;&quot;&gt;2. The Challenge:&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;You&apos;re not just here to date, you&apos;re also here to do wacky partner activities together to bond! Pick a partner and get to rock climbing or bumper cars or synchronized swimming. You&apos;ll probably win a really cool prize if you do!&lt;br style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box;&quot; /&gt;&lt;br style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box;&quot; /&gt;&lt;b style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: bold; line-height: inherit;&quot;&gt;3. The Date:&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;Speaking of cool prizes, maybe one of them is the chance to go on an actually nice date with a partner of your choice! Is this your first time together, or have you been trying to go steady as the days go by?&lt;br style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box;&quot; /&gt;&lt;br style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box;&quot; /&gt;&lt;b style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: bold; line-height: inherit;&quot;&gt;4. The Drama:&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;Tensions are likely to run high in a setting like this! Are your characters beefing over a shared love interest, or has there been something as dramatic as a murder? All&apos;s fair on intergalactic television.&lt;br style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box;&quot; /&gt;&lt;br style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box;&quot; /&gt;&lt;b style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: bold; line-height: inherit;&quot;&gt;5. The Confession:&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;Tensions are high, but the stakes have just gotten higher; you&apos;re in love, and you&apos;re ready to make it known, whether it&apos;s for the sake of your feelings or for a strategic move forward in the rankings. Do you make your feelings known in front of everyone, or steal away for a special moment?&lt;br style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box;&quot; /&gt;&lt;br style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box;&quot; /&gt;&lt;b style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: bold; line-height: inherit;&quot;&gt;6. The Sex:&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;The easiest prompt. Do they get it on? You figure it out.&lt;br style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box;&quot; /&gt;&lt;br style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box;&quot; /&gt;&lt;b style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: bold; line-height: inherit;&quot;&gt;7. The Victory:&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;Congrats! You&apos;ve made it to the end! What does this mean for you and your thread partner? Is it time to have a hard chat about whose world to run away to? Are they stuck in this world together forever?&lt;br style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box;&quot; /&gt;&lt;br style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box;&quot; /&gt;&lt;b style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: bold; line-height: inherit;&quot;&gt;8. The Extra Episode:&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;Think of a scene that&apos;s not included here? Roll with it! Wildcard it!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=betterthandreams&amp;ditemid=317564&quot; width=&quot;30&quot; height=&quot;12&quot; alt=&quot;comment count unavailable&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle;&quot;/&gt; comments</description>

There are some people that are&amp;nbsp;&lt;i style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; line-height: inherit;&quot;&gt;more&lt;/i&gt;&amp;nbsp;than people; they are pure light, forces of nature with a cause and a higher calling singing in their bones. That whisper may not be of their own choosing, but something they answer and they will not turn away.&lt;br style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box;&quot; /&gt;&lt;br style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box;&quot; /&gt;Yet they must turn away from someone so they may face that abyss.&lt;br style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box;&quot; /&gt;&lt;br style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box;&quot; /&gt;There will be those that follow, those that align themselves with the person who symbolizes their belief. They see the change, the shift in the tide of nature that swirls around this person. Still, there is always one disciple above all who will do anything...not always for the cause, for the person behind it. To them, that pinpoint of light and inspiration in human form is the name of God on their heart. It&apos;s an earthly love. This makes it no less worthy. But:&lt;blockquote style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; margin: 1.25em; padding: 0.5625rem 1.25rem 0px 1.1875rem; border-left: 1px solid rgb(221, 221, 221); line-height: 1.5; color: rgb(65, 65, 65);&quot;&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;right&quot; style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 1.25rem; padding: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 1em; line-height: 1.5; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://25.media.tumblr.com/87f939963b5753284a0fb4975b6f0695/tumblr_motb6jlXVp1spxskko1_500.png&quot; class=&quot;imageshrink-actualsize&quot; style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; border: 0px; cursor: zoom-in; height: auto; max-width: 100%; max-height: 95vh; object-fit: contain; object-position: left center;&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box;&quot; /&gt;&lt;br style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box;&quot; /&gt;The path rarely ends will for prophets, royalty, dragon slayers, or girls in pretty sailor suits.
